Part 3 : Why South Asians die 10 years younger
If you haven't watched the first and/or second installments, I recommend it. It's a useful primer on some of the common physiological findings found in the South Asian population like Insulin resistance and heart disease.
In this episode, I cover all things behavioural that typify South Asian populations including:
Dietary habits
Exercise
Health literacy and the Knowledge gap
Migration and acculturation
Deprivation
Stress
There is so much more to include that I've left out of this brief overview such as a deeper dive on mental health, PCOS, skin and hair issues etc.
I'll save this for another time.
It's useful to be aware of the "issues" in this population but frankly, it's more important that you do something about it.
